What is BHRT?
Bioidentical hormones are derived from plant-based sources and are molecularly identical to the hormones your body naturally produces. This ensures better absorption and fewer side effects compared to synthetic hormones. BHRT can help alleviate symptoms associated with conditions like menopause, andropause, thyroid disorders, and adrenal fatigue by restoring hormonal balance with precision.
Symptoms Treated by BHRT
Hormonal imbalances can manifest in various ways, including:
For Women:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Mood swings and irritability
- Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
- Vaginal dryness
- Sleep disturbances
For Men:
- Fatigue and low energy levels
- Decreased libido and sexual dysfunction
- Memory loss and difficulty concentrating
- Muscle mass loss and weight gain
- Mood changes and irritability
By using customized BHRT plans, Dr. Schwarzburg addresses these symptoms, helping patients regain their vitality and quality of life.
How Does BHRT Work?
At Skinly Aesthetics, we offer several methods of BHRT, tailored to meet your specific needs:
- Pellet Therapy: BioTE pellets are inserted under the skin and release hormones gradually over several months, providing a convenient, low-maintenance solution without the need for daily medications.
- Creams and Patches: These options offer flexibility for those who prefer to avoid injections or pellet therapy. They allow for precise control over dosage adjustments.
- Injections: This option is suitable for individuals requiring immediate hormone supplementation, providing rapid symptom relief.
Why Choose Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are preferred over synthetic alternatives because they closely mimic the body’s natural hormones, reducing the risk of side effects like blood clots and mood disturbances. The use of plant-derived hormones also ensures smoother integration with your body’s systems, providing a more natural and efficient way to address hormonal deficiencies.
Benefits of BHRT
- Symptom relief within weeks
- Improved energy levels and mental clarity
- Enhanced sex drive and mood stabilization
- Better muscle tone and weight management
- Reduction in hot flashes and night sweats
- Better sleep quality

Patients should consult Dr. Schwarzburg to assess their symptoms and undergo necessary blood tests to ensure BHRT is the right solution.

Before starting treatment, Dr. Schwarzburg will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including hormonal testing to determine your exact needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How is BHRT different from traditional hormone therapies?
BHRT uses plant-based hormones that are chemically identical to those produced by your body, which makes them more compatible and less likely to cause side effects than synthetic hormones used in traditional hormone replacement therapy.
What symptoms indicate I might need BHRT?
Common symptoms include fatigue, mood swings, hot flashes, night sweats, decreased libido, weight gain, and sleep disturbances. If you’re experiencing any of these, you may benefit from an evaluation to determine if hormonal imbalances are the cause.
How do I know which form of BHRT (pellets, creams, injections) is best for me?
Dr. Schwarzburg will assess your specific symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle to recommend the most suitable form of BHRT. Each method has its benefits and will be tailored to fit your needs.
Are there any risks associated with BHRT?
While BHRT is generally considered safe, as with any medical treatment, there are potential risks. These include headaches, fatigue, or changes in mood. Dr. Schwarzburg will monitor your progress closely to minimize any risks and make adjustments as necessary.
How often do I need to follow up for BHRT?
Follow-up visits are typically scheduled every few months to adjust the treatment as needed. Monitoring your hormone levels ensures that the therapy continues to be safe and effective.
Can BHRT help with weight loss?
While BHRT is not a weight loss treatment, it can aid in balancing hormones that affect metabolism, making it easier to manage weight as part of a comprehensive wellness plan.
Does insurance cover BHRT?
Coverage varies by provider and plan. It’s best to check with your insurance to see if bioidentical hormone therapy is covered. Our office can also assist in providing information for reimbursement.
How soon can I expect to see results?
Patients often start feeling improvements within a few weeks, with full benefits typically appearing after a few months. Your specific timeline will depend on the severity of your hormonal imbalance and the type of treatment used.
What complementary treatments are available with BHRT?
Alongside BHRT, Skinly Aesthetics offers several complementary treatments to optimize your health:
- IV Therapy: Hydrates and replenishes essential nutrients to support energy, metabolism, and overall wellness.
- GLP Therapy: Uses GLP-1 agonists such as Semaglutide to regulate blood sugar and support weight loss, which can complement the metabolic benefits of BHRT.
